ABOUT BODYFOOD

Irene Spedaliere is the founder of bodyFood Inc., a true line of aromatherapy and natural body care products that are made with pure essential oils. The line is made for every day use to enhance your desire to live a healthy lifestyle.

My expertise lies in helping clients choose an essential oil blend that suits their needs and in creating new aromatherapy body care products.

Working with essential oils has enlightened me on their vast healing properties and positive impact when incorporated into an individual's environment.

Did you ever wonder why medicine has gone to the patch? How can you put a medicated patch anywhere on your skin and have it affect your whole body?

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and it absorbs everything you put onto it. Essential oils have been used for centuries for various healing purposes and their cell composition is very similar to that of our skin. All bodyFood products are made with pure essential oils. When you use a bodyFood lotion, wash, shampoo, or other product, it is absorbed by your skin and enters your blood stream, thereby circulating throughout your internal organs, allowing you to internalize the benefits of the oils used. Fragrance oils are not essential oils: they are made up of synthetic, toxic chemicals engineered to smell like something. You will never find a fragrance oil in bodyFood products, for they are not natural and are not easily digested by the body. Oftentimes fragrance oils cause adverse reactions to the skin. They have also been related to infertility in both men and women.

How can a smell affect my body or state of mind?

I often tell people to think of those that smelled ammonia salts during the Victorian era for fainting. If you can smell a substance, its molecules are going up your nose and entering your body by crossing the blood/brain barrier. This is how a smell affects your body and mind, and this is how bodyFood aromatherapy works!
